I'll assume you've got a sump so can go with an in-sump skimmer. For flow rate: I am a big fan of the Sicce Voyager series pumps. They are...
Not a great photo, but here is a pic of a couple of the Blackbar Chromis I ordered from LiveAquaria.com [IMG]
Updates for today: - I have some chromis coming in to put in the SPS side of the system - I also have an Indo-Pacific Sea Farms critter shipment...
I plan on trying to put this to bed somewhat in about 6 months after I'm up and running on my new set up. I plan on setting up a frag tank hooked...
Why the hell did this thread have to come up now?!? I was ready to go with a shallow sand bed in the tanks (DSB in sump and fuge) and now I'm...
I ended up buying four Aqua Illuminations Sol Blue units for the SPS tank. I am going to be using my Solaris for the other tank. It won't be as...
The only thing I'm concerned about is that after I add sand, having a big anerobic pocket under the plate that creates a massive area filled with...
Another banner day for the build - aquascape day! The first thing we did was cut the PVC plates - that's Tighe holding them. [IMG] We used the...
I'm going to get some chromis next week then get my fish shipped from FL the week after. I'll be putting in my Red Sea Sailfin and Vlamingi right...
Is that the point of all this? :D

First off, a drop of water is about .05 ml. If you're losing a drop per second, that's 3 ml per minute, 180 ml per hour, 4320 ml per day. So that's...
I forgot to mention that I also got my aqua illuminations sol blues last week. Pretty cool system.
Can livestock live and thrive without proper acclimation? Absolutely. Do you have to acclimate? Nope. However, low/no acclimation introduces stress...
That's the place (though it's actually in Castro Valley). I'll have to try Barney's :)
Much progress today, but an unplanned trip to the hardware store caused us to miss getting everything plumbed by about an hour. Here is the drain...
If you haven't built a tank before my recommendation would be to build the stand and buy the tank. Tie the stand into the wall framing. If you don't...
Which is why I concentrate on having the most stable, stress free tank I can. I don't quarantine because it just stresses the qt'd fish out more. The...
